For all my 'left coast' friends...

Recall hom we all said "elections have consequences?" Guess Moonbeam and his batch of marxists just can't wait to flex all their newly acquired power. The only point I'd like to make is, you idiots think this will stop the emmigration of your wealthy? You think they got wealthy by being as stupid as the proletariat? And even if you do manage to 'nail' a few of these wealthy realists that recognize the SFN crowd for what imbeciles they are, how often do you expect your corrupt government 'laws' to work. I'll answer that for you...ONCE...

I can hardly wait for the riots to start. I can about guarantee there will be far more than just the wealthy that will be leaving that God forsaken wasteland.

LOS ANGELES - Democrats, after gaining a two-thirds majority in both theCalifornia Assembly and Senate following Tuesday's election, will bebringing several new laws forward, all without the need for Republicanvotes.The most striking of these is a bill which would restrict wealthy Californiawage earners from leaving the state without facing a large penaltyassessment on their real estate and financial assets.Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown quickly cautioned that he would take any suchlegislation to the voters for ratification, as he did with the temporary taxincreases that voters approved on Tuesday. And Democrat leaders in both theSenate and Assembly downplayed the idea that they would seek any measuresthat would harm California's income tax base.It is the first time since 1965 that Democrats controlled a Senatesupermajority, and the only time since California voters passed Proposition13 in 1978, raising the legislative vote threshold to pass tax increases totwo-thirds.Democrats will control at least 27 seats in the 40-member Senate and alsohave a two-thirds margin in the Assembly as well."It's time to start anew and to live within our means but at the same timeinvest in the cornerstone of our future and of our economy. We need thosefortunate enough with higher incomes to continue paying their fair share,and if that means making them pay dearly if they decide to leave our stateso be it," Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said ina telephone interview.He later told reporters that he favors continued "tax reform" to broadenCalifornia's tax base, but if the wealthy continue leaving the state thatwould only place a larger burden on those least able to pay. "I certainlydon't mean to suggest to my fellow Californian's that we are immediatelygoing to raise more taxes," Steinberg said, to comfort those seeking toflee. "Any new tax measures will be fair and balanced."The California Labor Federation on the left and California Republican PartyChairman Tom Del Beccaro on the right both credited public employee unions,teacher unions and other core constituencies for electing Democraticcandidates and helping pass Brown's tax increases."It is a big deal and we have expectations from our labor friends to raiserevenues." Steinberg said. "That may include additional tax increases, butalso will involve measures to penalize residents for moving out of thestate."Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles, said he was confident thatDemocrats have the 54 seats they need for a supermajority in his chamber aswell.While Steinberg trumpeted his new found ability to bypass Republicans whomhe has called "recalcitrant ... and ideologues," Perez pledged to work withthe minority party even if he could probably ignore them."We get the best results when we have a true competition for the bestideas," Perez said, adding later that, "Having a supermajority was never agoverning imperative. But it makes it much easier for us to pass newprogressive legislation."State Democrats have also proposed forming a new branch of the state police,to be known as the "STASI" or "State Team Action to Stem Income" which wouldbe staffed with volunteers from every community, monitoring residentscontemplating moving out of the state. The staffers would report onneighbors and family members with moving plans or otherwise actingsuspiciously.The last time either party gained a supermajority in either chamber was inthe 1976 election, when Democrats won a two-thirds margin in the Assembly.It would be the first time since 1933 that one party held simultaneous supermajorities.But Brown said at a Sacramento news conference that it is his role to makesure legislative members of his own party do not overindulge. He said hewill ensure that California does not spend beyond its means, and wants allresidents to continue living in the state voluntarily."Our desires will always outrun the available money," Brown said. "I alwayslike to think with greater power comes greater responsibility.On the other hand, we can't have those who helped build our great societymove out of the state willy-nilly"He hedged when asked directly if he might veto the new legislation when itarrives on his desk."We're not into the threat game here," Brown said.He also said his relationships with the Legislature are "better than they'veever been."

When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.

Where do you get this stuff?????? There is no such paper as the "Sacramento Times" that I can find. There is a Sacramento Bee, California Times, a few others, but no such article in any of 'em. I really would like to see this paper to see who is the publisher. This is scary.

You really need to get out of that bubble that the republicans live in. You really do hate anybody that doesn't drink your flavor of cool aid don't yo?. I feel sorry for you to be so angry and disgruntled on a perpetual basis.

U wonder why many folks on this forum think you to be a tad short on gray stuff? UB is a valued resource to many of us, that you resort to name calling without provocation does not make you any sort of resource . FYI it's Kool Aid

Where did I call him any names? You are an educated man, but need some glasses and a remedial reading comprehension class. There is not one place in that response where I called him any names. He is the king of name calling. Go back and re-read it and show me where I called him names.

The only resource that I have seen him provide is hatred. If that is a valuable resource, I feel sorry for you too.

Marvin, the name calling began with the OP calling people on the left idiots "The only point I'd like to make is, you idiots think this will stop the emmigration of your wealthy?", so if you are going to berate someone you may want to start there. As for a valued resource, I find it laughable that anyone that continues to post false articles is a valued resource.

Maybe he was reading UB's post and thought it was me doing the name calling.
